This was the first time I've ever cooked a green other than spinach. Wow! Really really liked it. The garlic bits ended up being extremely pretty pink accents in the midst of the dark green leaves which was also an unexpected visual treat. I also cut up the beets and tossed them with a bit of feta cheese, white balsamic vinegar and the oil they were baked in (as the recipe suggests). WOW. That was amazing. Will definitely be doing this again. BTW, roasting with the skins on - thank god for that tip. A few months ago I tried to peel them first. Totally bad idea. This method is terrific.

Updated review. The first THREE times I made this, it was a total failure. I made bricks. However, on the 4th try I ditched my kitchen aid mixer and just did it by hand. EUREKA - SUCCESS! Since then I have made it a couple more times and it has worked out quite well. It is a lovely, soft, white bread. Exactly what the recipe says it is. Plain. What it isn't: full of artisanal flavor, bakery crust. This is not the recipe if you are looking for those qualities. But if you need a reason to stop buying store brand white bread, this is definitely it.
